About the Film
In ANATOMY OF A FALL (French: Anatomie d’une chute), Sandra’s husband Vincent is found bloody and dead in the snow after an apparent fall. Foul play is presumed, and the police have settled on Sandra as their main suspect. Making matters worse is the fact that the only witness to the crime is Sandra and Vincent’s blind son Daniel. Sandra is forced to prove her innocence in a courtroom where the odds are stacked against her.
Justine Triet, who wrote and directed the film, won the Palm d’Or for Anatomie at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, making her the third woman director to receive that honor in the festival’s history. Additionally, critics have hailed the strong performance from lead actress Sandra Hüller, winner of numerous best acting awards in her home country of Germany.

Written and directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ava DuVernay (Selma, 13th), the film stars Aujanue Ellis-Taylor as Wilkerson, as well as Jon Bernthal, Vera Farmiga, and Nick Offerman in supporting roles. Origin is not only a deep dive into the life of an exceptional journalist, it also examines the nature and deep roots of racism in America.
Featuring the final score composed by renown Japanese film composer Ryuichi Sakamoto (who sadly passed away just months before the film’s release, and to whom the film is dedicated), MONSTER is a gripping, poetic, and engaging drama that examines the way “truth” is perceived depending on one’s perspective. The film has been nominated for countless awards, and the script by Japanese playwright Yuji Sakamoto won the award for Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival.
